tonto, read Tom Friedman's column in the New York Times to day and get educated on the issue of solar funding. The 2007 energy bill passed in December failed to extend any stimulus for wind and solar energy production. You should see the graph in the current issue of Mother Jones magazine which shows that current funding for alternative energy research is about 1/4 what it was in 1979 just before Carter left office.

"In 1997, the US was the leader in solar energy production with 40 per cent of global solar production. Last year, we were less than 8 percent"
